Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

This circuit makes use of the fact that the base and collector voltages of a transistor are approximately equal when the transistor is near saturation. A control signal can thus be generated to prevent the transistor and the amplifier that drives it from saturating. Fig. lb shows a typical driver circuit with the bypass circuitry applied, while Fig. 1a shows the typical driver circuit before the bypass circuitry is applied. In Fig. 1b, bypass circuitry to generate the control signal to prevent saturation consists of PNP transistor Q2 and diode D1. During normal operation when the driver transistor Q1 is operating well away from saturation, the PNP (Q2) in the bypass circuitry is shut off, and the circuit functions the same as the unprotected circuit in Fig. 1a.

Driver Bypass Circuit for Linear Control of Inductive Loads

This circuit makes use of the fact that the base and collector voltages of a
transistor are approximately equal when the transistor is near saturation. A
control signal can thus be generated to prevent the transistor and the amplifier
that drives it from saturating. Fig. lb shows a typical driver circuit with the bypass
circuitry applied, while Fig. 1a shows the typical driver circuit before the bypass
circuitry is applied. In Fig. 1b, bypass circuitry to generate the control signal to
prevent saturation consists of PNP transistor Q2 and diode D1. During normal
operation when the driver transistor Q1 is operating well away from saturation,
the PNP (Q2) in the bypass circuitry is shut off, and the circuit functions the same
as the unprotected circuit in Fig. 1a. However, as the driver transistor
approaches saturation, its collector voltage will drop to approach the base
voltage. As the collector and base voltages become equal, the bypass transistor
(Q2) begins to bypass the base drive current away from the drive transistor and
feed it into a summing junction at the input of the control amplifier M1. This
saturation condition will exist when an input transition is sufficiently fast and the
load current di/dt becomes large enough to cause the required load voltage to
exceed the available supply by the relationship V = L * di/dt (where V is the
required voltage across the inductive load L). When the base dri...
